I don't speak for Bluecop, but after reading many of his posts: I think Bluecop wrote this in his garage/basement so he/his wife, could watch the daily show. Because you can also watch it via his hulu plug in, I doubt he will spend any time on it.

Thank you Bluecop for writing the addon originally and insane822 for updating it. I think insane822 should start his own thread with a link to the source (thanks VTWoods) and a referral back to here.

justgosh: I put Daily Show, Colbert Report, and South Park into a Comedy Central stations for Free Cable.

They were using an unsupported swf verify2 at the time so it is disabled. It also had some additional comedy central shows too. It was working fine with an updated librtmp last I used it.

I just gave the Comedy Central station a shot and had no luck:

I haven't gotten either solution to work so far. Before I keep putting time into it, can anyone tell me if either works for watching the extra web content - specifically the extended interviews on The Daily Show? That's really all I need from a plugin since my DVR records the main program.

BlueCop
I have removed the #commented out line of Comedy central in the _common.py, and it is now visible in the main menu. But when I click on it, it fails immediately. I'm sure there is more I need to do then delete 1 # symbol. Care to share?

mrdally, I know your question is directed at BC, but I do know a little bit about this. It is covered elsewhere in this thread, but you will need to replace librtmp with a "patched" version. That's about as far as I've gotten. I've seen binaries floating around of the patched file for Apple TV. It's not clear to me what to do to get a modified version on linux or windows.

cmckitterick · 2012-06-21, 02:15

Well the daily show plugin (VTWoods git) actually works out of the box with XBMCbuntu. However, it doesn't include Colbert Report or South Park.

Hi,
First post here, so this is probably breaking forum etiquette but I'm really interested in watching Daily Show and Colbert Report from my HTPC Big Grin

I'm a newbie to XBMC, and I'm running it on Windows XP. I had originally downloaded the bluecop repo, and downloaded the Free Cable addon. Living in NZ, I was able to get ABC to work, and a couple shows on NBC. Reading through this thread, I saw that I needed to do some things to activate Comedy Central. I also saw recently that I didn't need to do any of the complicated stuff to add the patched librtmp (or something like that), and all I needed to do was uninstall/reinstall the Free Cable addon, then change the comedy.py (wherever that is).

The problem is, after uninstalling, I'm unable to reinstall the addon. Help?

Okay, so apparently the bluecop repo needed to be updated? Or maybe that's just from my reinstall from the zip I d/led.

BlueCop · 2012-07-17, 10:51

gatekepa: i just committed an update to fix comedy central, spike, tv land, and VH1. if you don't see the station check the settings to make sure it is enabled.

Okay, cool! Once I figure out how to download Free Cable again, I'll try it out!

I'm learning, though. I still need to update the librtmp, don't I, as that's a part of XBMC, not the actual plugin, right?

BlueCop · 2012-07-17, 11:10

That is correct. It is a library used by XBMC.

Some stations use rtmp and some don't. It depends. It is needed in many cases.

this wiki page should have info and links
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Librtmp

gatekepa · 2012-07-17, 23:41

Fan-bloomin-tastic. Reinstalled Free Cable, updated the librtmp.dll, and now I can play Colbert Report and Daily Show!

Sweet! Cheers for the help.

teaguecl · 2012-07-21, 06:14

For anyone running XBMCbuntu 11.0 (Eden), I compiled the patched version and placed it here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/477050/librtmp.so.0
Just place it in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

I tested it with the latest Free Cable and Colbert is working! Thanks a million Bluecop.

You need to be root (sudo) in order to overwrite anything under /usr/lib/. I would recommend using filezilla to put the file into /home/xbmc/ and then ssh into the xbmc machine and do:

Code:
sudo mv /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/librtmp.so.0.orig

sudo mv /home/xbmc/librtmp.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
